Using charitable donations to fund salaries

Sir, – Organisations who sought charitable donations and then used these to “top up” the salaries of their senior staff have done themselves enormous reputational damage.

The chief executives of these organisations are responsible for the reputation of their organisations above all else. When a chief executive does something which brings the organisation into disrepute, it is a gross dereliction of duty.

This scandal is an acid test of whether Irish society has actually changed since the crash or not. If these people remain in their roles, then the Government has failed us. – Yours, etc,
